No! Not a baby. Tim arrived at lunch time, and also Raju and his wife from Singapore. Kate arrives on Wednesday and then the 11 team members from VACC on Saturday. No photos today. sorry. I didn't have my camera on me when the cooking team were doing the Hokey Pokey in the kitchen. One of those moments I wished I'd been here for. All training is going on well, and the Aussies are enjoying building relationships with these lovely people. Tim is a first class motorbike mechanic, so he has lots of work ahead as everyone has a motorbike, and he will also train some of the young men in maintance. Emma and Josh continue to assist in school, and also with the self defence. The dolls have all their body parts together and are now being adorned with hair. Saris are next on the agenda. Some of the ladies on team have bought gorgeous material and are having lovely outfits made at the tailor. The grand sum of about $5 to make an outfit. I'm sure that will be a photo opportunity. It must be time for bed, as all the dogs have woken up, and are starting to bark at everything that moves. There are at least four or five barking in unison right now. Motorbikes are passing under the window and big metal gates to each house are being dragged shut and locked up for the night. Most houses have high brick walls around them, with broken glass or nails or metal spikes on top, and then large solid metal gates locking out the street. Thankfully, the locals go to bed reasonably early, but they are early risers, and begin walking and talking under the windows from 5am, which, of course, sets off our four legged friends once again. The weather is beginning to cool off a little, thankfully. Still rain in the afternoons.
